FMS RANGER 1800MM ARTF
The FMS Ranger has quickly become well known amongst R/C pilots - Beginners love it for the simple assembly as well as its stable and predictable handling characteristics while experts love the Ranger as a weekend flyer with mild aerobatic capabilities.
So what could be better than the 1200mm Ranger? Well, a 50% larger 1800mm Ranger, of course!
While quite a bit bigger, the 1800mm Ranger is still true to its roots- take off within 10ft and cruise at 1/3 throttle with the flaps down- STOL is in its DNA.
With a patented spring-cushioned nose gear and robust metal main landing gears, the 1800mm Ranger will absorb just about any landing impact. The durable, oversized wheels are designed specifically for rough field operations.
With landing lights, nav lights and strobes, the 1800mm Ranger is realistic and could fly well into the dusk. Optional floats add to the all-terrain fun of the Ranger.
Build the 1800mm Ranger in as little as 3 minutes (for experienced pilots) - the screw-together assembly is very straight-forward and easy to put together.
Want to supersize your experience? The 1800mm Ranger is the right way to start!

Fantastic model. Great for the beginner and the advanced pilot. Flies very stable, but is great for slo-mo acrobatics as well. BUT! FMS praise the landing gear far beyond what it can live up to. "CNC metal landing gear absorbs even the hardest landings" they write, but it simply doesn't. It looks nice and solid, but the truth is that it isn't. Being a member of a local club, where 8 members have the Ranger, we know the landing gear isn't nearly as strong as it looks. It has a very weak spot in the connection between wheel fork and the suspension, where the alloy only is one mm thick. This combined with the fact that the suspension in only vertical, there is no horizontal give, means that many members have experienced broken front landing gears, even for not very severe landings. An unlucky touch is all it takes. There is a reason why the front landing gear as a spare part almost always is out of stock. And when in stock, it is not cheap. I love the plane, but you need to know the facts!
